The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

x-post with Buffy&Angel

I've been enjoying this story on TTH. It's still a work in progress, but the climax is approaching.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

The latest info suggests someone got in and stole a bunch of user info. Not banking info, as they keep the donation system separate. But they recommend that if you use your AO3 username/password combo elsewhere, you change the password.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

They reassured everyone that the data wasn't lost, and I hadn't even considered that possibility. So I freaked out and then was reassured in very short order.

I keep reading on reddit about people creating google drives to share or otherwise sharing fic they downloaded and the issues that it is causing

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

No lie, being between fandoms and not wanting to engage with fandom-as-it-is-now has saved me from the impact.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm going to see this on Thursday and honestly the timing couldn't be better [link]

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Right there with you Plei. Heated Rivalry is the most recent bit of media I got really invested in, and reading fic for it doesn't appeal between its own fanfic origin and the toxicity of the online fandom reaching escape velocity in record time.

Dang! At least Sherlock fandom took a year or so to hit cray cray.

So help me, I did have the world's most horrible fic prompt idea for a DW promptathon, which I did not use, but did text to a friend to cackle over.

Which, in ita's honor, I am sharing here, copied and pasted from my messages. Under a spoiler tag, because it's You Can See Everything RPF.
